Malachite

Reliable Yields of Nutrient-Rich Greens

The Malakhit spinach variety from the Ukrainian breeder UNUS is a strategic choice for growers focused on high-yield, sequential crop production. This variety is known for its high adaptability to various growing environments, making it a dependable asset for any agronomic program.

Practical Application and Agronomic Benefits

• Superior Market Presentation: The deep dark-green color of the leaf rosettes ensures the product stands out on retail shelves, meeting the high standards required for fresh market sales.
• Sequential Production: Designed for multiple production cycles throughout the season, Malakhit is ideal for greenhouse cultivation (spring and autumn) and open-field systems utilizing drip irrigation.
• Operational Efficiency: The uniformity of the plants simplifies harvesting significantly. The variety is suitable for both mechanical harvesting and manual "cut-and-bunch" methods, minimizing labor costs.

Using UNUS-certified seeds helps mitigate risks associated with uneven germination. Malakhit shows excellent responsiveness to intensive cultivation practices, including nitrogen fertilization and precise soil moisture management. It is highly recommended for producers supplying supermarkets, as the variety demonstrates excellent shelf life and maintains leaf turgor long after harvest.
